Lawmakers bet on Clackamas/Lake Oswego rivalry

Cross-river rivalry between high school football teams in Clackamas and Lake Oswego heated up this week with lawmakers making a $100 bet over the games outcome.

State Reps. Shemia Fagan (D-East Portland/Clackamas) and Chris Garrett (D-Lake Oswego) decided on the little friendly gamble, using personal money, when they found out that theyre both fans of hometown teams.

Planning to attend the game at Clackamas on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m., Fagan hopes to donate her winnings to Clackamas Womens Services and North Clackamas School District programs for low-income students.

We thought itll be fun to have a little skin in the game to support these hardworking kids, she said.
